"Magnificent place to visit with the family. It took us 3 to 4 hours to tour the entire place completely. The story there is spectacular. There is a booth where you can take photos and they become a memory in your home. I recommend buying tickets online because they are cheaper. And the way to pay for parking is another level. They know when you come and go without you talking to someone. You must scan the QR code that is in the parking lots and follow the instructions. It is not difficult at all. 100% recommended for people who are interested in this type of scientific topic."
"Loved walking in. The nicest staff at the front to greet you. The whole layout was well done and it was truly amazing. The food was simple and good. We LOVED the gift shop. Easy to spend a whole day there. Loved every exhibit and the movie clips. We also recommend the tours, they were awesome to see in person. The staff went above and beyond for recommendations as well."
"Very interesting place to spend the day with your family. It’s definitely a full day thing. It’s really hard to visit everything in a couple of hours. There are three tram tours which take you on the NASA campus. All of them have set departures and for the most part all departures end at 3:30. We were only able to see two of them. Mission Control and Rocket park. Best advice if you want to see everything is to get there early. The shuttle and 747 were also really interesting."
"This was fun. I felt like a kid again. It definitely takes a day if you do the Tram Tours. You should get the Historic Mission Control Tour, it is special. The trams are outside, so dress for the weather. You can bring in food, etc. At least we did, so a picnic will save you some money. Overall, I highly recommend for adults and children. There is a lot more for adults than you would expect."
